I was planning to go to the book signing at Winchester and then onto Wincanton .... but some c**t, smashed the rear window of my Mini Cooper convertible ... so it now needs a complete new roof.

As well as the £250-00 excess I am going to have to pay, for some yobs mindless bit of vandalism, I missed out on two events ... Wincanton would have been brilliant as Margaret Simpson (co author of Folklore) would have been signing as well.

I had six copies I wanted signed, now I will never get that opportunity again.

Am I pi**ed off about it - of course I am
